Now it's Your Turn to Talk

Here at Carbonfund.org we like to hear what our donors have to say. It helps us in the office keep perspective on why we’re doing what we’re doing. And our donors come from a broad range of perspectives. Some were concerned about climate change’s negative impacts and wanted to do the right thing. Others felt guilty about their pollution and chose to support our high quality projects as a way to offset their activities. Still others were spurred by our partners’ actions, donating after seeing Amtrak, Dell, or JetBlue’s actions to fight climate change. Take a look at a selection of comments we received this week. Maybe next week, we’ll highlight your comment!
“Admittedly, I'm being selfish to fly around as much as I do. Your group gives me a means to balance my negative actions with positive actions.”
“I feel very strongly that we as individuals should try and offset our carbon footprint. I work for an environmental consulting company and take pride in what I can do to help our environment.”
“I was given the option when buying my Amtrak ticket. I'd like life on earth to continue longer.”
“I work for the American Geophysical Union (www.agu.org) which publishes much of the climate change research. I think it's important that we walk the talk.”
“My brother wanted carbon offsets for his birthday present.”
“Polar Bears etc.”
“The wedding offset is a great idea!”
“We at NMD, Inc feel it is very important to leave a legacy for future generations.”
“We've reduced our footprint significantly with public transit, but long distance travel is still an energy drain. Glad to know we have the option of “off-setting” where we are unable to eliminate our carbon footprint.”
